Sharovipteryx
mirabilis (Sharov, 1971) skeleton
Diapsida: Prolacertilia: Sharovipterygidae
Locality:
Madygen, Osh Region, Kyrgyzstan
Age: Early Triassic, 245 million years ago
All
main groups of animals alive today, such as frogs, turtles, crocodiles,
mammals,
and probably birds, had appeared by the end of the Triassic.
But the most significant
event of that time was certainly the appearance of dinosaurs.
The next 150 millions
years would be the era when
dinosaurs, "terrible reptiles", dominated
entirely.
